Ai Community Church

We've been monitoring the progress at Ai Community Church for nearly five years. The church, is located at the corner of Highway 68 and Alcorn Road, just south of the Oak Ridge community. When we featured it in 2009 (here) the church was in dire need of a roof. When we featured it two years ago (here), it appeared to be getting a solid foundation. It appears that progress is being made on the restoration. It appears that the Oak Ridge Historic Preservation Commission is involved in the restoration. The topic of the church's renovation was on their June, 2012 agenda.

Not much information is available online about the church. However, the graves in the surrounding Ai Cemetery predate the Civil War. In the current state, the church shows no sign of having windows- just green insulaton. Hopefully, they will cut some windows out as the construction reaches completion. If you know anything about Ai Church and the renovation, please do share. In the meantime, here's to a great, peaceful, reflective, Sacred Sunday.
